The General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches welcomes the news that the “Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill” has passed the House of Commons and is now headed to the House of Lords. After a year-long consultation in 2013, our movement felt that the right for terminally ill patients to access assisted dying spoke to our Unitarian values of the inherent worth and dignity of all people and their freedom to believe as their consciences dictate, and therefore passed a motion in favour. As this Bill is implemented, we hope that the above-mentioned principles remain at the heart of all changes made, and are embedded in both policy and practice for all those involved in end of life decision making. As stated in the 2013 motion, we believe that “any individual who faces an intolerable existence because of a debilitating and/or incurable physical condition should have the right to seek support for the termination of their life in a painless and dignified manner”.
The post “Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill” passes next stage appeared first on The Unitarians.
I'm considering joining a session to see if I like it. But I am wondering what to do while others pray. I could meditate or practice mindfulness. What are some other good options for atheists to do while others are praying?
